Absolutely awesome. And love the Riverside tower!!! I live about 7or 8 miles from where it used to stand. I have fond memories of that track my parents would take us out there when the stock cars were running in the 70’s. Thank again for the video!!!
Grateful for your videos and So awesome to see you’re a girl dad! As a father of 4 girls, I was so happy to see your daughter still playing with you. 😂 Enjoying all your videos as my kids become more independent and I take on this new hobby. Love your designs and style with a nod to the glory days of racing.
Thank you very much…. Yes my youngest daughter still finds time to play with her Dad , even at the age of 18 😂 . I’m a father of 3 girls… love them with all my heart ❤️…
I’m building mine and keep using yours for inspiration. Mine will never be as good as yours , but thank you for showing us how . I love the vintage look , fantastic .Mark Montreal .
Thank you Mark... just keep chipping away on your own layout... I bet you can amaze yourself with your results, it’s the finishing pieces that really make all the work start to pop
Awesomely cool Boone, a Hobo in a cardboard box in one of those tunnels would be cool. I just googled the bridge you spoke of....would be a nice feature to add. Love the Riverside tower!
Gday from Australia, fantastic layout mate, i had mine in a backyard shed 20 years ago, i found that the pizza box plastic centre lifters make great tables for figurines to sit at in a picnic area. i also built a balsa wood constructed 1/32 scale pub with a rotating beer logo atop.

Ive been watching your vids for ideas and of course, the how to diy tricks. Your layout is phenomenal Boone! I can only hope mine ends up as good as yours. I will keep youpostedon how its going. GREAT detailed layout Bro!!!
Super job! Very neat to see things being built not bought. I used your wire wheel method today shaping poly styrene. Looking forward to the esso man and marshal hut videos.
Awesome track! I'm getting ready to begin building my grandson one. I started thinking it would be simple with prefab buildings, trees and the like. Now you've inspired me to take it to a whole level! Your videos are so well explained - thanks!
Thank you Jay, sounds like you and your grandson are getting ready to have some awesome memories in the making. Glad my videos are a help and inspiration to build your layout.
Thanks for sharing. This raceway is way cool and you are doing right. You haven’t copied a raceway, but you have incorporated features from a real raceway and made it your own concept. BTW, the Riverside Tower brought back many great memories for me. I’ve lived in the Inland Empire (SoCal) since 1967. Been to many different racing events at RIR including two cross country invitationals when I was in high school. Obviously the place was more than an auto raceway. I was heart broken when it was demolished. 😔

Hey Boone, I watched you doing the cobblestone and I have a suggestion for future effects. Take some copper wire the size you want for your gaps, shape it into sections of different cut shapes into a flat pattern about 3 x 3 or so and attaching to the end of your electric solder iron so it looks like a branding iron. As your heat from the tip expands into the wire and gets to the temp you want them press it into the styrene. Presto blocks of cobblestone! 👍🇨🇦
Hello, that’s a very unique and impressive slot car track. Love how the track snakes around like the real thing. I brought one of my grandsons a SCX track with motorcycles maybe 10 years ago. The bikes just didn’t wanna stay in the track well and he quickly lost interest. About a year ago I was talking to a friend at a model car club meeting and he told me Hobbytown had some 1:43 scale cars at a reasonable price so I bought a couple and some more track on eBay. I built some benchwork ( my main hobby is model railroading and LEGO’s) with 30 X 96 slot track below and a 32 X 64 n scale train track above. The great grandsons at three to five years old learned quickly how to reasonable speed race and they love it. Thus we keep the slot car hobby alive. Thanks for sharing your stunning layout, Cary
Only just recently found your videos from a post I think you commented on I posted on a FB group but yep very cool vids I’ve seen nearly all and what an inspiring collection you have Fantastic track also you’ve done an AWSOME job my track is coming along slowly but thanks to most of your tutorials I’ve got new drive Cheers I’m gunna watch this again as I was typing haha
@@BoonesSlotCarGarage GDay Boone I will double check on that one and I’ll go ahead and post some pics but if not it’s a hashtag at #popasmurfraceway because I inherited 4 boxes of track and accessories that the old man had kept from my childhood and it was only fitting to not only set it up in honour of him and the times we shared but to make it a permanent fixture in my new manCave I think it’s coming up maybe 4 years old now and on day hope to go digital Cheers mate
After watching a video of yours, I was going to say that there's a little Bob Ross in your presentation, now I see that there is a lot of Bob Ross in your presentation. You need to put a Bob Ross Chia-Pet on your track!
Don't know if you'll be interested but, here's a link to my slot car track. th-cam.com/video/rqBAupAtplg/w-d-xo.html Got into your videos as I my scenery is so bad. I went for most amount of track to fill room (2m x 3m). 3 layouts in 1. Using Scalextric Sport Digital Console (Pre ARC) connected to a PC (not shown in video). Thanks so much for your videos. Have a nice day.
@@DUI-Dave thanks Dave, checked out your layout, that’s some crazy stuff, love it.... do you want to change it up ? If the scenery is a issue I can help out with ideas and answer any questions that you might have. Just message me and I’ll see what we can come up with...
@@BoonesSlotCarGarage Hi Boone, Thanks for your reply. My layout isn't going to change (although has slightly changed since video recorded) as my plastic barriers have aged badly due to track being in a conservatory. To change the track layout would require removing the barriers, and that will break them and I am unable to replace them. Although I would love to add better scenery, it would be well beyond my skill level, due to high levels of medication and mental disabilities. I really appreciate your videos and may take you up on your offer of assistance at a later time. 🤞🏻SCX & Ninco barriers come back in stock. Keep up the good work. Merry Christmas & Happy New Year. All the best, Dave
I,ve just watched again your video and it's so nice, awesome layout. After watching it, I have made Dunlop Bridge and Esso guy using poliestyreno. Thanks for your inspiration. Next project will be lemans boxes pit stop. Tell us how you did it, wich materials...? Thanks and my regards from Spain
Thank you Victor, the Pit box was made out of balsa , I textured the exterior using drywall joint compound, same material that I use over the top of my foam board and spray foam....
Awesome, My favourite era of racing too. You could use micro hinges an make the trees foldable, can't believe I just thought of this as I fold My table against My garage wall! Unreal, dig it.
Hi Boon. I'm just starting to build a scalextric layout in my shed its bigger than an average shed its 20ft x 12ft. The the layout will only cover half in a horseshoe arrangement. Your layout is excellent the best I've seen .
Thanks Mark ... she is my nasty little wench , lol . Can’t wait for our weather to clear up some so I can get my speed fix, she is a little fickle when the roads are cold , and the days of dragging a knee while my grip is less then stellar are no more....
I stumbled onto your video quite by chance - you have a really great layout there. I live in the UK. We visit Canada every couple of years (my wife is Canadian) but we also pop down to Washington state as we have friends who live on Whidbey Island - small world eh...
Thank you Martin.. that is funny , maybe next time you are in this area let me know , would be great to have a few races ... lol , thank you again Boone
Have you ever noticed the golf course at Indy? 9 holes are inside the track. That small tear drop piece of grass on the top level looks like a prime candidate for, say an 18th green. Even looks like you'd have the real estate for the cart path too!
Brilliant layout, definitely inspiring! I've never had a permanent track layout but I'm very tempted, I have a suitable spare room and also a garage but no heating in that, so might not be suitable?🤔😮😁😎👍 I like the different levels and attention to details!😎👍
Thanks PD , my garage is not heated as well , but it is attached to the house. If you have a spare room in your home , that would be the ideal place for your track . But if the garage is dry and doesn’t get below freezing it would be ok as well....
@@BoonesSlotCarGarage I think the spare room might be my only option, my garage is concrete sectional construction, separate from our house, it's 'dry' in terms of the rain doesn't get in but here in the very damp UK the air has a lot of moisture especially through winter, so it wouldn't be suitable for the long term care of the metal parts of the track etc Your pulley idea has got me thinking I could use something similar to lower the track table down from the side of the wall, so it 'folds' away when not in use but obviously everything would have to be fixed down and attached to the table otherwise it would all just slide off!! I currently just put my track down temporarily in my living room which is around 26ft long and put it under obstacles such as tables and other furniture but with my dog Max jumping all over it and my wife moaning at me to put it away, it's not ideal lol 🤔😁😊😎👍
@@pdtech4524 yep sounds like the garage wouldn’t be the best place , but your folding idea sounds good. I have seen a few of them and the work good. Plus it might make the lady of the house happy as well. A plus , plus ... lol , thank you again for your comment and for watching my channel ... Boone
Great job. Love the "shit" braking marker..... Outstanding use of terrain/scenery!!!! Sounds like lots of work taking out the ceiling to allow for a water feature?! Maybe just do a shallow pond with a small waterfall feature and low shrubs with folks swimming/boating........ Very nice job !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WOW! That track is awesome ☺️, how many cars in your collection, I have been getting bits and pieces together for a few years now, HO and thirty two scale, this is a great hobby!
@@scotthickman5277 the ones i am using are not , but they have enough play in the mount that it works good. If you are going to be pulling a fair amount of weight that might be an option, or run a second pair of pulleys to direct the cable to a truer line of pull. They have ceiling an wall mount pulleys that you can mount on there side to direct the cable the way you wish.
Thank you.... been thinking of making a video of that... question for you, would you be interested in a video of the type that I built for my layout, or , would you like to see a replica of the real one built. Either way I would not be able to use it for my layout so it not too much of a worry to me. Just wondering what a viewer would like to see....,
@@BoonesSlotCarGarage Would like to see a replica of the real one. I have all of the Porsche 908s and would like to display with those pits or at least the Porsche garage.
Thanks Bagpuss, the short straights do help with lower speeds , but to get the fast times it forces you to really tickle the trigger. The only area that can get hairy with your speed is the up hill straight , I have had a few fly off there.
Your layout is work of art! I wish I can be so productive like you...lol. A real hobby craft nice raceway sir, very nice. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 how about put a model helicopter up there and circle the raceway for dramatic purpose 😂
Only just discovered your channel. You are doing what I have always wanted to do. Your talent for scenery is incredible. I love the layout and would aim to build something similar once I have retired. Is there a layout plan? Looking forward to watching all the videos.
Thank you Barry, and it’s a real fun time building a layout . I don’t have a build plan , I just had an idea of different ideas and started laying down track . I have shared the layout via photos of my build with others that have asked the same question and they show the scope of what was needed to build. If you have a Facebook account you can look me up and I will share what I have and answer any questions,,,,. It’s my name Boone Haury..... thank you again.... Boone
Wonderful job. So fun. Can you run in the opposite direction, specifically as it relates to the lane change tracks, or would you need a second one pointing the other direction, for a total of 3 +3 lane changers? Thanks.
Thank you.... in order to run the track the opposite direction , I would need to switch the lane change track the opposite direction as well . The lane change track is only designed to run one direction , you can damage the cars if you don’t do that....
I know you have tunnels for the cars but how about a pedestrian walkway under one of your sections of track? I have fond memories of walking under the track at Le Mans, whilst smelling, feeling and hearing the heavy braking and acceleration above.
I can show you how to build your lift system so you can undo it from the table and lift the ropes and pullies away from your bench work while your using it. I had built a layout that was 12' X 8' when assembled. It was 2 tables 6' X 8' that stacked and lifted up out of the way.
Thanks Joe , I do have it so I can remove the cables if needed. Only issue I have now is that I have added too much additional table to the sides that it makes it quite a challenge to remove them from the table… 😆
Thanks for the quick reply. To help others perhaps trying the same thing, as I have not yet made the purchase until I fully understand the issues, I have to ask that if the cars are going the opposite direction, they'll pass the lane "X" and then pass the LED sensor, so a) they're past the "X" and b) no point in pushing the LC button for that LC section, but perhaps the next one intended for that direction of racing. My hope is that by not triggering, or despite triggering the next one, the first one (facing the other direction) either won't trigger or will a tailgating car get messed up? Thanks so much.
The track has a open merging intersection once the car switches lanes. If you run a car the opposite direction, the blade comes in contact with the intersection of the merging tracks and stops the car . When the lane change track is ran the correct way, the lane change switch moves a blade that changes the car to a different lane. That blade also helps to direct the car to the correct lane and protects the blade from coming into contact with the intersecting tracks. That’s one issue.... the second is the track can only change lanes in one direction, do to the way the rails are designed and the LED sensor needs to be activated as your car approaches the track.... I have ran my track in reverse, but it can only be done in analog, and I have to insert a guide. For the lane change track to protect the guides on the cars so they do not come in contact with the intersecting track rails
Awesome layout Boone, do you have a build thread somewhere on a forum? I'm new to slots and loving this style of track. Wouldn't matter if you run classic, muscle, F1, JDM or anything in between it would look right at home on your track. Do you have many "de-slots" on the up hill run when they get air? Got a new subscriber out of me for this video.👍🤙
Very cool, and thank you for subscribing to my channel… I do have pictures on my building process of the track , just unable to send them to you on TH-cam, but I do have the Facebook group, named the same as my TH-cam channel, or I also have an Instagram account named “ boonehaury” either of those I could get the pics to you , just message me. The up hill area is a blast, non magnet cars do catch some air , and land back on the track in the slot… makes it a little challenging when your going for fast times… hahaha.. I do plan on a new video going over the track again once I get a few more things completed since a few things have changed and been added to as well. Hope to hear from you soon and I can share more info. Welcome to this wonderful hobby and if you have any questions please feel free to ask. I’ll do my best to help you out… Boone
Thanks Wayne, ....to build a grandstand is going to take some thought in how I can put it in words to describe how to do it... this is a video that I’m going to have to make soon. Your not the only one suggesting a video on this. Let me stare at the one I have built and I’ll see if I can put it to words... I’ll have something for you soon ... thanks
have you ever tried to make a banked curve ? i had one on an Aurora track when I was a kid in the 70s. It was a Monza banked curve any where from 30 to 45 degrees. Would love to make one for my Scalextric track.
You can only bank flat turns just a little before you start to get into some issues. But Scalextric does make banked turn pieces. It’s c8297 ... it states it is for a 10% grade but you can push that to a greater grade . You will need to create your own track supports to do that... hope this helps, and thank you for watching my videos
Thank you Ian , the Riverside tower and the Targa Florio pit building I built from scratch. But the Riverside tower is available now through “ racetrackscenics.com “ Kevin is a real good guy and can hook you up.
Awesome layout! I've just known your chanel and it's very inspirate. Would you explain how did you make Dunlop bridge? It's fantastic. It's my next project and i need help. Thank you very very much!
Thanks john.. yes I have 7 different cars that I’m working on. Working with a gentleman out of California on modifying some resin bodies to create some different liveries of old CanAm cars. 712 Ferrari CanAm , 612 CanAm , and Mclaren M12..
Hello, I found my slot cars from like 1993, and I was thinking about where to go and then you showed up on TH-cam. I dig what you do. I live in California and I haven’t seen any track’s around. What is all this? And where do I find this I would like to do a set up. I was thinking about doing trains again but I like this, I haven’t had a home track since I was a kid, and I have never seen them I thought they didn’t make it anymore. If you are interested in letting me know what I have can I have your email ? Thanks for any feedback
Thank you Brian, I have a Facebook link on the banner of the TH-cam channel. If you click on this it will take you to my Facebook group for this channel. I created this for the very reason of being able to communicate freely and share info . The group is dedicated to everything slot car, and I encourage people to post their own pictures and questions... so come over to my Facebook group and I can help you out. And if I don’t have the answer, I’m sure somebody on the group will
Deception Raceways, Sweet layout Boone! What software if any did you use to build/design your layout? Or. . . . did you build it / design it as you laid it on the wood? Awesome no matter how you put it down on Wood, it's an AWESOMELY LAID OUT Deception Raceway! How many times have they landed back in the slot when they really " FLEW?" When I've talked to ppl that I've run into and they are new to racing, they ask me "How fast are the cars?" I tell them fast enough to fly off the track! But you my friend took it to another Level and removed the mags. and they really get some Air! Thanks for the Video and tour of Deception Raceway! I want the Blue and White Tower, ESSO Man, Wish you had a "Bip Bend Bow" b.k.a. the Michelin Man as well as Esso and the Dun(s)lop bridge. I formerly turned a wrench and mounted my share of Dunlop tires, we called them that around the shop that I worked at. Thanks for the trip, fasten your seatbelt, kick the tires and light the Fire on the Deception Raceway! Kenny G.
Thanks Kenny.. I had an idea in my head about what I was going after with the track, but I came down to laying out different ideas and tweaking as I went along. Tried to use the track design programs , but couldn’t quite get it figured out. The cars are very consistent with landing back in the track as long as I don’t launch them to the moon like that one shot I did. It almost made it .. lol.. I do plan on making the Michelin man , just trying to find the right one on the net to make a copy of. The other buildings I will be making videos of and if I’m making a copy of something I already have I most likely will be posting for sale or maybe doing a drawing. Thank you for watching and I’m glad they are a help. Thank you again Boone
I wish I would have videoed it when it was being built. Unfortunately it was before I started up the TH-cam channel. I might do a similar build in the future.

Hey Boone, I watched you doing the cobblestone and I have a suggestion for future effects. Take some copper wire the size you want for your gaps, shape it into sections of different cut shapes into a flat pattern about 3 x 3 or so and attaching to the end of your electric solder iron so it looks like a branding iron. As your heat from the tip expands into the wire and gets to the temp you want them press it into the styrene. Presto blocks of cobblestone! 👍🇨🇦
That’s a really good idea.... thank you for that.... I will definitely try that out
That is definitely inspiring and badass, don’t know how I missed this one ... thank you
Thank you Benjamin glad you like it
Excellent layout with great level of detail!!
Thank you Keith
Hello, that’s a very unique and impressive slot car track. Love how the track snakes around like the real thing. I brought one of my grandsons a SCX track with motorcycles maybe 10 years ago. The bikes just didn’t wanna stay in the track well and he quickly lost interest. About a year ago I was talking to a friend at a model car club meeting and he told me Hobbytown had some 1:43 scale cars at a reasonable price so I bought a couple and some more track on eBay. I built some benchwork ( my main hobby is model railroading and LEGO’s) with 30 X 96 slot track below and a 32 X 64 n scale train track above.
The great grandsons at three to five years old learned quickly how to reasonable speed race and they love it. Thus we keep the slot car hobby alive.
Thanks for sharing your stunning layout, Cary
Thanks Cary , that’s great about your grandsons , only way we are going to keep our hobbies going is to get the younger generation interested
Love the track! Thank you for making these videos.
Your welcome, and thank you for watching my videos, I hope to film a updated video of the layout soon
you put in alot of work on this race track great job
Only just recently found your videos from a post I think you commented on I posted on a FB group but yep very cool vids I’ve seen nearly all and what an inspiring collection you have Fantastic track also you’ve done an AWSOME job my track is coming along slowly but thanks to most of your tutorials I’ve got new drive
Cheers I’m gunna watch this again as I was typing haha
Thank you, you will have to come over to the Facebook group I have for my channel, would love to see some pics of your layout
@@BoonesSlotCarGarage GDay Boone I will double check on that one and I’ll go ahead and post some pics but if not it’s a hashtag at #popasmurfraceway because I inherited 4 boxes of track and accessories that the old man had kept from my childhood and it was only fitting to not only set it up in honour of him and the times we shared but to make it a permanent fixture in my new manCave I think it’s coming up maybe 4 years old now and on day hope to go digital
Cheers mate
After watching a video of yours, I was going to say that there's a little Bob Ross in your presentation, now I see that there is a lot of Bob Ross in your presentation. You need to put a Bob Ross Chia-Pet on your track!
Hahaha .... happy trees
Wow Boone that is one of the best tracks I’ve seen, great job.
Thanks Ken
Just gorgeous. Well done.
Thank you
Such a sweet track.
Amazing scenery.
Enjoy all the videos.
Keep them coming.
Have fun, stay safe.
Thanks Dave , and thank you for watching
Don't know if you'll be interested but,
here's a link to my slot car track.
th-cam.com/video/rqBAupAtplg/w-d-xo.html
Got into your videos as I my scenery is so bad.
I went for most amount of track to fill room (2m x 3m).
3 layouts in 1.
Using Scalextric Sport Digital Console (Pre ARC) connected to a PC (not shown in video).
Thanks so much for your videos.
Have a nice day.
@@DUI-Dave thanks Dave, checked out your layout, that’s some crazy stuff, love it.... do you want to change it up ? If the scenery is a issue I can help out with ideas and answer any questions that you might have. Just message me and I’ll see what we can come up with...
@@BoonesSlotCarGarage Hi Boone,
Thanks for your reply.
My layout isn't going to change (although has slightly changed since video recorded) as my plastic barriers have aged badly due to track being in a conservatory.
To change the track layout would require removing the barriers, and that will break them and I am unable to replace them.
Although I would love to add better scenery, it would be well beyond my skill level, due to high levels of medication and mental disabilities.
I really appreciate your videos and may take you up on your offer of assistance at a later time.
🤞🏻SCX & Ninco barriers come back in stock.
Keep up the good work.
Merry Christmas & Happy New Year.
All the best, Dave
@@DUI-Dave sounds good
Nice looking layout a work of art.i would like race on it love it keep up the good work.
Thank you Sir
Such great inspiring work!
Thank you James
I,ve just watched again your video and it's so nice, awesome layout. After watching it, I have made Dunlop Bridge and Esso guy using poliestyreno. Thanks for your inspiration. Next project will be lemans boxes pit stop. Tell us how you did it, wich materials...?
Thanks and my regards from Spain
Thank you Victor, the Pit box was made out of balsa , I textured the exterior using drywall joint compound, same material that I use over the top of my foam board and spray foam....
Awesome, My favourite era of racing too.
You could use micro hinges an make the trees foldable, can't believe I just thought of this as I fold My table against My garage wall!
Unreal, dig it.
Thanks Jono, .... interesting point about the trees
Hi Boon.
I'm just starting to build a scalextric layout in my shed its bigger than an average shed its 20ft x 12ft. The the layout will only cover half in a horseshoe arrangement.
Your layout is excellent the best I've seen .
Thank you Adrian
@EnterTRAINment Junction needs to hire you! Seriously... it’s in the Cincinnati suburb of West Chester, and they really need to add a slot car layout.
That would be a blast, would love to be able to do something like that
I'm loving the RC51 in the background! Good taste!
Thanks Mark ... she is my nasty little wench , lol . Can’t wait for our weather to clear up some so I can get my speed fix, she is a little fickle when the roads are cold , and the days of dragging a knee while my grip is less then stellar are no more....
I stumbled onto your video quite by chance - you have a really great layout there. I live in the UK. We visit Canada every couple of years (my wife is Canadian) but we also pop down to Washington state as we have friends who live on Whidbey Island - small world eh...
Thank you Martin.. that is funny , maybe next time you are in this area let me know , would be great to have a few races ... lol , thank you again Boone
Have you ever noticed the golf course at Indy? 9 holes are inside the track. That small tear drop piece of grass on the top level looks like a prime candidate for, say an 18th green. Even looks like you'd have the real estate for the cart path too!
I didn’t know that there is a golf course at Indy…. Learn something every day.. your correct though , that area could be used for that…. Thanks Drew
@@BoonesSlotCarGarage I just googled 1/32 scale golf figures and was quite surprised with the results. I'm still looking for a hobo for your tunnels
Brilliant layout, definitely inspiring!
I've never had a permanent track layout but I'm very tempted, I have a suitable spare room and also a garage but no heating in that, so might not be suitable?🤔😮😁😎👍
I like the different levels and attention to details!😎👍
Thanks PD , my garage is not heated as well , but it is attached to the house. If you have a spare room in your home , that would be the ideal place for your track . But if the garage is dry and doesn’t get below freezing it would be ok as well....
@@BoonesSlotCarGarage I think the spare room might be my only option, my garage is concrete sectional construction, separate from our house, it's 'dry' in terms of the rain doesn't get in but here in the very damp UK the air has a lot of moisture especially through winter, so it wouldn't be suitable for the long term care of the metal parts of the track etc
Your pulley idea has got me thinking I could use something similar to lower the track table down from the side of the wall, so it 'folds' away when not in use but obviously everything would have to be fixed down and attached to the table otherwise it would all just slide off!!
I currently just put my track down temporarily in my living room which is around 26ft long and put it under obstacles such as tables and other furniture but with my dog Max jumping all over it and my wife moaning at me to put it away, it's not ideal lol 🤔😁😊😎👍
@@pdtech4524 yep sounds like the garage wouldn’t be the best place , but your folding idea sounds good. I have seen a few of them and the work good. Plus it might make the lady of the house happy as well. A plus , plus ... lol , thank you again for your comment and for watching my channel ... Boone
Great job. Love the "shit" braking marker.....
Outstanding use of terrain/scenery!!!!
Sounds like lots of work taking out the ceiling to allow for a water feature?!
Maybe just do a shallow pond with a small waterfall feature and low shrubs with folks swimming/boating........
Very nice job !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks Dan... taking out the ceiling will allow me to put larger trees in , still thinking about it.... lol
Some great ideas I'm going to try sadly not a lot of open space 125ft of track in a space of 6ft x 16ft...keep the videos coming. Thanks
Thanks Steve
WOW! That track is awesome ☺️, how many cars in your collection, I have been getting bits and pieces together for a few years now, HO and thirty two scale, this is a great hobby!
Thanks Mark , I have around 50 cars at this point , and I’m in the process of building 5 resin bodies
Just found your channel and subscribed.
***DEFINITELY*** Video on the Dunlop tire bridge ***DEFINITELY***

Thanks for this video Boone it’s helped so much I’m just getting started with the plywood board and stuff but your video’s have been such a help
Thanks Kane
@@BoonesSlotCarGarage I think you should do a video on how to make a grandstand for spectators
@@kanefarrar5139 I agree,,,, what size and style would you like to see made
@@BoonesSlotCarGarage I think about 40cm long and 20cm wide and classic style
@@kanefarrar5139 sounds good, I’ll figure out a design and film.... thanks Kane
Great layout. Your giving me great ideas for my track
Thank you Vic
WOW! A TRUE MASTERPIECE. YOU SHOULD BE VERY PROUD OF YOURSELF. How many feet of track is in this layout? Congratulations on this fine piece of ART.
Thanks Brian... my track is 106ft
Very cool set up
I was thinking of setting up in my garage as well. I’m interested in the pulley set to raise it to the ceiling
Thanks Scott, I have a video on the pulley system , but if you need additional questions answered just let me know. Thanks again Boone
Yea I’ve seen the video after my comment thanks
Question: I’m assuming the gang of pulleys on the ceiling would they be like a swivel type pulley ?
@@scotthickman5277 the ones i am using are not , but they have enough play in the mount that it works good. If you are going to be pulling a fair amount of weight that might be an option, or run a second pair of pulleys to direct the cable to a truer line of pull. They have ceiling an wall mount pulleys that you can mount on there side to direct the cable the way you wish.
Great layout. Hope to see a video on building the Targa Florin pits
Thank you.... been thinking of making a video of that... question for you, would you be interested in a video of the type that I built for my layout, or , would you like to see a replica of the real one built. Either way I would not be able to use it for my layout so it not too much of a worry to me. Just wondering what a viewer would like to see....,
@@BoonesSlotCarGarage Would like to see a replica of the real one. I have all of the Porsche 908s and would like to display with those pits or at least the Porsche garage.
@@brucecogan7734 sounds good, I’ll have to brainstorm on this one
Amazing as always. Keep up the good job
Thank you Pablo
Brilliant. I presume as the straights are short and there are a lot of corners that's speeds are lower and hence the cars come off far less.
Thanks Bagpuss, the short straights do help with lower speeds , but to get the fast times it forces you to really tickle the trigger. The only area that can get hairy with your speed is the up hill straight , I have had a few fly off there.
Awesome mate, great work (Ron Trackside)
Thanks Ron
Awesome work 🇦🇺
Thank you Ray
Your layout is work of art! I wish I can be so productive like you...lol. A real hobby craft nice raceway sir, very nice. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
how about put a model helicopter up there and circle the raceway for dramatic purpose 😂
Thank you Ajims
Only just discovered your channel. You are doing what I have always wanted to do. Your talent for scenery is incredible. I love the layout and would aim to build something similar once I have retired. Is there a layout plan? Looking forward to watching all the videos.
Thank you Barry, and it’s a real fun time building a layout . I don’t have a build plan , I just had an idea of different ideas and started laying down track . I have shared the layout via photos of my build with others that have asked the same question and they show the scope of what was needed to build. If you have a Facebook account you can look me up and I will share what I have and answer any questions,,,,. It’s my name Boone Haury..... thank you again.... Boone
@@BoonesSlotCarGarage I do have a Facebook account but I don't use it much (at all!). I've send you a request.

Great layout. Looks like a lot of fun to race on.
Thank you , and yes it’s a fun track
That’s a magnificent layout Boone would like to see your cars running on it, season greeting from Ireland
Thanks Patrick
That's a kool cutout you have there. He looks familiar.
Thanks Bob, happy little trees
You have a awesome layout
Thank you
Awesome layout Boone!!
Thank you
Wonderful job. So fun. Can you run in the opposite direction, specifically as it relates to the lane change tracks, or would you need a second one pointing the other direction, for a total of 3 +3 lane changers? Thanks.
Thank you.... in order to run the track the opposite direction , I would need to switch the lane change track the opposite direction as well . The lane change track is only designed to run one direction , you can damage the cars if you don’t do that....
I know you have tunnels for the cars but how about a pedestrian walkway under one of your sections of track? I have fond memories of walking under the track at Le Mans, whilst smelling, feeling and hearing the heavy braking and acceleration above.
That’s a very cool memory and idea. I might just look into this . Would be a nice addition to my layout when I start the rebuilding process.
I can show you how to build your lift system so you can undo it from the table and lift the ropes and pullies away from your bench work while your using it. I had built a layout that was 12' X 8' when assembled. It was 2 tables 6' X 8' that stacked and lifted up out of the way.
Thanks Joe , I do have it so I can remove the cables if needed. Only issue I have now is that I have added too much additional table to the sides that it makes it quite a challenge to remove them from the table… 😆
Thanks for the quick reply. To help others perhaps trying the same thing, as I have not yet made the purchase until I fully understand the issues, I have to ask that if the cars are going the opposite direction, they'll pass the lane "X" and then pass the LED sensor, so a) they're past the "X" and b) no point in pushing the LC button for that LC section, but perhaps the next one intended for that direction of racing. My hope is that by not triggering, or despite triggering the next one, the first one (facing the other direction) either won't trigger or will a tailgating car get messed up? Thanks so much.
The track has a open merging intersection once the car switches lanes. If you run a car the opposite direction, the blade comes in contact with the intersection of the merging tracks and stops the car . When the lane change track is ran the correct way, the lane change switch moves a blade that changes the car to a different lane. That blade also helps to direct the car to the correct lane and protects the blade from coming into contact with the intersecting tracks. That’s one issue.... the second is the track can only change lanes in one direction, do to the way the rails are designed and the LED sensor needs to be activated as your car approaches the track.... I have ran my track in reverse, but it can only be done in analog, and I have to insert a guide. For the lane change track to protect the guides on the cars so they do not come in contact with the intersecting track rails
Awesome layout Boone, do you have a build thread somewhere on a forum? I'm new to slots and loving this style of track. Wouldn't matter if you run classic, muscle, F1, JDM or anything in between it would look right at home on your track.
Do you have many "de-slots" on the up hill run when they get air?
Got a new subscriber out of me for this video.👍🤙
Very cool, and thank you for subscribing to my channel… I do have pictures on my building process of the track , just unable to send them to you on TH-cam, but I do have the Facebook group, named the same as my TH-cam channel, or I also have an Instagram account named “ boonehaury” either of those I could get the pics to you , just message me. The up hill area is a blast, non magnet cars do catch some air , and land back on the track in the slot… makes it a little challenging when your going for fast times… hahaha.. I do plan on a new video going over the track again once I get a few more things completed since a few things have changed and been added to as well. Hope to hear from you soon and I can share more info. Welcome to this wonderful hobby and if you have any questions please feel free to ask. I’ll do my best to help you out… Boone
Looks like fun! Now you need a vid on the cars too.

have you ever tried to make a banked curve ? i had one on an Aurora track when I was a kid in the 70s. It was a Monza banked curve any where from 30 to 45 degrees. Would love to make one for my Scalextric track.
You can only bank flat turns just a little before you start to get into some issues. But Scalextric does make banked turn pieces. It’s c8297 ... it states it is for a 10% grade but you can push that to a greater grade . You will need to create your own track supports to do that... hope this helps, and thank you for watching my videos
@@BoonesSlotCarGarage thanks might give it a try soon,let you know how it turs out !

Hello, I found my slot cars from like 1993, and I was thinking about where to go and then you showed up on TH-cam. I dig what you do. I live in California and I haven’t seen any track’s around. What is all this? And where do I find this I would like to do a set up. I was thinking about doing trains again but I like this, I haven’t had a home track since I was a kid, and I have never seen them I thought they didn’t make it anymore. If you are interested in letting me know what I have can I have your email ? Thanks for any feedback

Deception Raceways, Sweet layout Boone!
What software if any did you use to build/design your layout?
Or. . . . did you build it / design it as you laid it on the wood?
Awesome no matter how you put it down on Wood, it's an
AWESOMELY LAID OUT Deception Raceway!
How many times have they landed back in the slot when they really " FLEW?"
When I've talked to ppl that I've run into and they are new to racing,
they ask me "How fast are the cars?" I tell them fast enough to fly
off the track!
But you my friend took it to another Level and removed the mags. and
they really get some Air!
Thanks for the Video and tour of Deception Raceway!
I want the Blue and White Tower, ESSO Man, Wish you had a "Bip Bend Bow"
b.k.a. the Michelin Man as well as Esso and the Dun(s)lop bridge.
I formerly turned a wrench and mounted my share of Dunlop tires,
we called them that around the shop that I worked at.
Thanks for the trip, fasten your seatbelt, kick the tires and light the Fire
on the Deception Raceway!
Kenny G.
Thanks Kenny.. I had an idea in my head about what I was going after with the track, but I came down to laying out different ideas and tweaking as I went along. Tried to use the track design programs , but couldn’t quite get it figured out. The cars are very consistent with landing back in the track as long as I don’t launch them to the moon like that one shot I did. It almost made it .. lol.. I do plan on making the Michelin man , just trying to find the right one on the net to make a copy of. The other buildings I will be making videos of and if I’m making a copy of something I already have I most likely will be posting for sale or maybe doing a drawing.
